Why panels get dirty here
Southern California gets long dry stretches between rains, so dust, pollen, smog residue and wildfire ash can sit on panels for months. Inland and desert-edge areas often see more dust. Bird droppings and nesting under panels are common too.

Common questions
How much does solar panel cleaning cost?
It depends mostly on the number of panels, roof height and pitch, how dirty they are, and whether you add bird proofing or a plan. See the cost guide, then request quotes.
How often should solar panels be cleaned in Southern California?
It depends on dust, nearby trees, birds, wildfire ash and how much rain falls. Many homeowners clean once or twice a year. See how often to clean solar panels.
Will cleaning affect my warranty?
Some manufacturers and installers have cleaning guidelines. Check your warranty or ask your installer, and ask cleaning companies how they follow them.
Can I clean the panels myself?
Roof work involves fall risk and electrical equipment. Many homeowners hire a company for that reason.
